It's a dark night. I'm walking through Mystic Falls in search of vampires to kill. As usual. After all, my name isn't Alaric Saltzman the Vampire Hunter for nothing. I do this every night when I'm not busy helping my friend Damon, or taking care of Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert. To top it off, I'm also the Mystic High History teacher.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V8it4mlJi
I'm in an abandoned part of town, when an old vampire enemy of mine comes out of an alley.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUM1wxiRst
"Alaric," the vampire greets.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10GXQjh9D2
"Judas," I greet back, but it's not really a greeting. Judas the Bloody is my vampire enemy.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5O6DcqvOw
He's instantly in front of me and grabs hold of my throat. Then he has me up against an alley wall.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6xoxnQ78g
I gasp from the tight hold and try to get his hand off my throat. But he's a vampire. He's too strong. He wants me dead, as I do him. And as he vamps out, I know he's going to kill me tonight.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3PAUVBGE
"Good-bye, Alaric Saltzman," he says, before lowering his head and biting into the side of my neck.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIdfrpOSrF
As he continues to feed on me for what feels like twenty minutes, I feel weak and I start to lose my vision. And a few minutes later, I feel myself start to sag to the ground. Then everything goes black.

I'm taking a walk when I smell blood a mile away. So I follow the scent trail.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkOlXG3jcT
It isn't long before I find whom it belongs to. Alaric Saltzman. From a distance away, I see a vampire feeding on him. And from where I stand, I can hear the slow rhythm of his heart and shallow breathing. As he lies on his back, eyes closed, having pale skin, looking limp, head rolled to the left, I know he's dying.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLWRAczKbZ
I know I have to do something. I don't know if he has his ring on or not. I can't tell. The vampire is in the way. I can't let him die. Plus, like Elena and Damon, I care about him. So I do the one thing I can do. At vampire speed, I throw him off of Alaric, making him hit a wall. I don't have a stake with me, so I kneel down by Alaric and search for a stake. I find one in his jacket and pin the vamp to the wall with a hand around his throat. In the next instant, I stake him in the heart and he fall to the ground with cracked skin, as he dies.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YNPZ31KJm
I rush over and kneel at his side. As I do, I can hear that his breathing has stopped. I look down at his hand where his ring should be. It's not there. It must've fallen off.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU9AttgqQ0
"Don't die. Don't you dare die, Alaric."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxDkG2ecs
I put my lips to his a few times, breathing in to him, trying to get him breathing again. It works after ten minutes.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCfMBuKRZZ
I see his ring by a wall and pick it up, going to kneel at his side again. I take his hand and lift it, putting his ring on where it usually is. Then I set it gently back down at his side.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGYm7Qla0I
I gently pull him into my arms and position his head back, biting my wrist and putting it to his lips, making it go down his throat to heal him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPaxGh73qp
When his bite is healed, I take my wrist away and it instantly heals. I gently lay him back down and rest a gentle hand on the side of his face. His heart and breathing are normal again, as well as the color of his skin.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiOVciFwEc
I wait for him to come to.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWRNkyiYU7
A few minutes later, he does and sees me.
"I saved your life," I inform him. "And killed that vampire."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj6kbEVhwQ
I gently help him to his feet, as he gets up. He's still eternally healing. I have to help him get to Elena's before I can leave him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoRrEOzuFF
With an arm around him, I help him get home to the Gilbert home.
Once he's on the couch, he looks at me.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJkefuZGSC
"Thanks. I might owe you in the future."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhTbbVqnK8
"You're welcome."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekEXil2DC
I walk out the door, closing it behind me. Now I'm heading to the boarding house to get some rest.
